Likely DOS Attack on Ann Coulter's Website

Posted on 06/27/2007 7:30:27 PM PDT by rickdylan

What I'm seeing indicates that somebody is conducting a denial-of-service (DOS) attack on www.anncoulter.com. I've been on the site once today from a browser screen which was logged into it from yesterday but all attempts to get onto it fresh today are failing, and I've tried it from a couple of different systems.

If there are any serious geeks on FR who are capable of looking into this one, it bears looking into.

That would explain why I haven’t been able to reach the site and maybe why her latest column, usually posted about 7 PM Eastern every Wednesday, hasn’t appeared anywhere yet.

AC.com seems to be down for tonight. I’ve tried several times over the last few hours.

This is not unusual and has happened before.

I don’t think it’s my imagination.

Wouldn't that be a DDOS attack?

It's not beyond libs to break the law to supress those with whom they disagree.

Ann was on CNBC this afternoon and said her site was under attack.

Sounds just like Free Republic...and it usually coincides with the quarterly fund drives; must drive JimRob zonkers. There may be a spy amongst us.

What did she say about her weekly column? Has it been ZOTTED?

Servers have bad days. Leased lines from the network provider can have bad days, among other things. Stuff happens. Sure it COULD be a DOS, but you can’t be so quick to jump to that conclusion. Really, the only folks who would know right away would be the admins of the site, and or her ISP.

I'm certain that Henry "Doctor Subpoena" Waxman will ask for her testimony about this......ya, sure.

There has been a problem all day with several sites. This wasn’t limited to Ann Coulter’s site.

That's not today's article... unless its a typo. You'd think she'd be plugging her NEW book - not her last one.

Crissy cried that Ann Coulter wrote Mrs. Clinton had chubby legs.

Ann demanded Crissy Matthews read the entire quote before commenting.

The full quote revealed Ann accussing Mrs. Clinton of beating a hasty retreat and hiding when reminded her husband was credibly accused of raping Juanita Broderick.

In other words, Liberals object to Ann Coulter describing Hillary’s legs as chubby, rather than Bill Clinton’s RAPE OF JUANITA BRODERICK!!!
